Interventions

  • RPM-assisted specialist access — OTHER
    Participants will be prompted to report current symptoms and activity once a day via remote patient monitoring chat technology for up to 28 days following injury. Patients with either escalating or plateauing symptoms will be flagged, with an electronic alert sent via the electronic health record to a nurse navigator. The nurse navigator will have access to the symptom data and facilitate scheduling an in person or telehealth specialist visit as indicated. Symptoms will continue to be monitored through the 28-day acute study period with additional clinical visits occurring according to clinical need.

Study Details

The goal of this hybrid implementation-effectiveness study is to evaluate the effectiveness (hastened recovery times) and feasibility (fidelity in connecting to concussion specialty care) of a novel mobile health intervention, designed to reduce disparities in access to specialty care through the use of remote patient monitoring (RPM) to facilitate care hand-off from the emergency department (ED) to concussion specialty care. Participants will report their symptoms and activity once daily through RPM chat technology that is linked to their electronic health record and prompts referral to specialty care.
